At age 26, newspaper reporter Joe McGinnis found himself the youngest living writer ever to have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list following publication The Selling of the President, which described in fascinating detail the marketing of Richard Nixon in the 1968 campaign. McGinniss has published 11 books on a variety of subjects, including the acclaimed Going to Extremes; a trio of best-selling true-crime books, each of which was made into a TV miniseries; a book about Teddy Kennedy; and the immensely popular Miracle of Castel di Sangro describing the break-out season of a soccer team from a tiny town in Italy.
